As a wedding photographer, every event teaches me something new — about love, about culture, and about what it means to honor the people and practices that shape a couple’s story. Photographing my first Jewish wedding was one of those moments.
It wasn’t just about documenting a ceremony — it was about entering a space built on centuries of meaning and capturing it with care, respect, and attention to detail.
What Stood Out to Me
There was structure, yes — but also so much joy woven into every part of the day.
From the signing of the ketubah in a private, quiet room…
To the ceremony under the chuppah, framed by family and tradition…
To the breaking of the glass, followed by spontaneous celebration and music…
Every moment felt both grounded and vibrant.
The hora was a full-body experience — laughter, movement, chairs lifted, and the kind of uninhibited celebration I think every couple deserves on their wedding day.
What I’ve Learned — and Why It Matters
As someone who isn’t Jewish, I walked into that first wedding with a mixture of excitement and responsibility. I listened, asked questions, and worked closely with the couple to understand not just the what, but the why.
Since then, I’ve photographed several more Jewish and interfaith weddings — always honoring the traditions, structure, and emotional depth that make each one unique.
What I Offer for Jewish + Interfaith Couples
- Respectful, story-first photography with space for ritual and relationship
- Familiarity with Jewish ceremony structure (ketubah, chuppah, glass, hora, blessings)
- Sensitivity to Shabbat timing, modesty, and rabbi-led flow
- Collaboration with couples, families, and planners to get it right — and beautiful
- Combined photo + video packages available
Whether It’s Your First — Or Mine
Every couple brings something different to their day. If you’re Jewish, interfaith, spiritual-but-not-religious, or simply want to celebrate with tradition and intention — I’d be honored to help document it.
